It is Wed. morning. Hey, I finally have a good room - it is a double, so I could lose it. I think I might be feeling a little better today. Still no diagnosis. My oncologist is not on the floor, so he wants the guy who is - who is not an oncologist, but an internist, to figure it out- and. surgeons pop in an out, and I do not really feel held. "Not conclusive for gall bladder disease", and they talked about doing a test to see if my gall bladder is blocked, but have yet to schedule it. My oncologist doesn't really see surgery as an option, and says the gall bladder will always eventuall calm down.

I have gained 15 lbs of water weight, yet my urine is very dark and I fell very thirsty. It is all in my abdomen, which impedes my ability to breathe, so I am on oxygen. I have the runs, of pure bile. My blood counts have all gone down.

Meanwhile, my doc is finally (said he'd start last week) researching clininical trials.

Well, it is hard for me to be feeling optomistic at this point, but that is probably mostly because I feel so bad. So please intensify your prayers, for both the immediate problem and the long term.

Love,
Anne
